I think they should do it just for the craic..;. imagine the look on peoples' faces when the tyre they've just spent a couple of hundred quid on becomes worthless overnight...! Would put things into perspective really wouldn't it?! Maybe we could get the ball rolling on a re-release of moots / onza ti cranks, disk drives, speedtraps...! Herbold bought the last 350 pairs or so when they stopped making the white porcs - was his fave tyre (supposedly)

The main problem I imagine is getting someone to commit to buy the older tyres.

Jeff @ First Flight has done some Timbuk II's I am buying a couple of pairs next week. Some people say they are a bit expensive, even with the favourable dollar rate right now but to make a run of tyres the unit cost is dependent on the number ordered. There are say 600 users on this forum. I think it would be a miracle if half commited to buying 4x groundcontrols each. So that's 1200 tyres. I think that 1000+ tyres at $20 per tyre would be worth doing. Any less may not be. A nice idea but I am not sure how much demand there really is...
